87 years in prison.
1) Well, I don't think that will ever happen.
2) I'm sure he and the Obey Corporation will be happy to spread that information around, if there is anything that sells almost as fast than a dead artist, is an artist in jail.
3) come on 87 years? you are telling me that placing some posters on the streets gets a harsher punishment than a child rapist? that can't be true, so either someone is exagerating, or no one knows exactly what he did besides putting posters up on a wall.- He will never receive 87 years, he will be lucky to get 36 months if he is convictedNot_Ghey

http://www.brghtnghts.com/blog/?…- agreed he jacks other people's shit. not my issue with it. i think vandalism charges are bullshit however.sublocked
- finding joy in his downfall is childish and spiteful.sublocked
- same here. charges are harsh.morilla
- Just showing people who dont get it that this has been going on for a very long time.morilla

I do believe the charges are pretty outlandish. I am not supporting that at all.
But what I do find amazing is how some embrace him and call him "artist" around here. He is a xerox machine. He has worked his way up the ladder stealing and regurgitating others work. This behavior should be scorned by the likes of us and people in the field. It is not admirable, not one bit.

If anything, I do have respect for the dudes Business / PR staff. That's it.
- Yeah. Hes done some good work for his corporate clients. I just feel like a RISD guy would be above jacking images.baseline_shift
- yes, he does have a great PR team working for him, kudos for hiring them.Not_Ghey

yep, he bites shit - blatantly. no, that's not cool.
the thing i do like about shep is that through the overexposure of his work, some REAL graffiti artists doing big things like http://www.knowngallery.com/ and http://cloutmagazine.com are getting noticed.
that's not a bad thing at all in my book.
- scratch that http://cloutonline.c…sublocked
- yup! ORIGINAL art is great. In all forms. Graff is what got me interested in typography and design in the first place.baseline_shift

At least with Bansky, he is creating original shit, making political and social statements and or simply making fun of society.

I rest my case.

I personally love the hype and haters. One day he will buy me a Porsche with the money I make off the 93 posters I own.
- Don't forget to wear a condomNot_Ghey
- I won't. He already bought me a Macbook. http://cgi.ebay.com/…moveinspace

So how about Warhol and Duchamp?
If say the images Fairey used were public domain would it be legit in your books?
I don't like the fact that he uses other peoples work. Just find it odd that people care so much. Like the future of all art and design ride on this one case.

well , it's either this thread or forehead combover.

87 years....pfft. yea right! I'd be surprised if he got community service.
- DrBombay0
The only reason anyone even knows who he is is because he exploited Andre the Giant.
